78:33 Regarding the usage of atrāb see 38:52 and 56:37. In the common parlance, the word kawā’ib is often interpreted to mean a woman whose breasts are becoming prominent, or a full-breasted woman. At the time of revelation, the immediate audience understood the pleasure in paradise in specific terms, mostly in familiar dreams and desire of men. However, the Qur’ānic allegory of the pleasure of the Heaven is always meant to appeal both men and women and intended to reward men and women alike. The Qur’āic text transcends the boundary of society, history and time of revelation, therefore, cannot be limited to the meaning of a particular term in single context. One of the meanings of the root word ka’aba is to become prominent or to become glorified (Rāghib, Lisān al-‘Arab, Tāj al-‘Arus). Thus, when the word is applied to a person, it indicates to the prominence of the person without any reference to his or her sex. When the word is combined with atrāb, it means prominent companions well matched.
